Horrible latency surfing the web via computer shared Wi-Fi.

My mac has a wi-fi card in it, so via System Preferences/Sharing I can enable internet sharing with computers that use Wi-Fi. I can then surf the internet on my iPhone, but there are horrible latency issues.

The speed comes across okay (2mb to 3mb) but it takes pages up to a whole minute to load because it sits at the beginning stage of loading forever.

I've inputed my iPhones Wi-Fi address into the appropriate spot in my routers settings, and there are still latency issues when running on this Wi-Fi.

I am having similar issues - connecting my directly to our DSL modem via a patch cable results in a latency of 30-35ms regardless of whether it's my macbook of my dad's iMac.

connecting the modem & setting up "Sharing Internet" on the iMac and accessing the Internet on my macbook over WiFi results in a a latency on the order of 70-75ms which is unacceptable - some times simple pages don't finish loading on Safari!

The only hint I found online is to enable local DNS - anyone have explicit instructions for doing this on 10.5?
